Not to get off topic, before the EPA required the car to be cold and run at 70mph, the TDI were listed at 48 IIRC. Real world was often higher. They weren't called Prius killers for nothing.

OK, so I fudged a MPG or 2. Must have been the politician influence.......

Figured if Presbo could round, so can I.
